The blurriness is a bit like a hurricane, and at 50ft. What would 150 look like?

This can't be the death of SI, I'm still saving pennies.

2D, side scan and down scan are safe, when the price comes down and the technology gets better I'm sure they'll sell more. For now I wouldn't trade my SS/DS for one, it is a cool gadget though.

I'm about to buy a new unit. I've been using a 535tx, now I'm ready to step up to something really good. don't think I can go all the way right off but I'm definatly intrested in the 360. All that said what would be a good base unit for SI and DI that is expandable to the 360? I figure this time next year they"ll have the bugs and kinks worked out. I don't want to buy a cheaper unit that I'll be using the next 10 years and kick myself for not spending the extra money.I'm completly new to DI/SI.Any advise is gratly appreciated.

I'd suggest the 1198.

The 360 accessory addon only works with the HB SI series units 798ci HD Combo, 898c SI Combo, 898c HD SI Combo, 998c SI Combo, 998c HD SI Combo, 1198c SI Combo...

So that's going to cut your choices down considerably...

I think there is no reason for DI to die - 360 gives nothing instead. Let us see how the tree, waved bottom with two stones below, and two fishes above, and also big stone in front will look on:
1) DI screen
2) 360 degree screen (boat stay still above tree)
3) 180 degree swing scan screen ( my own technick, boat stay still above tree as well)

One can see that DI screen shows everything: waved bottom with two sones, tree, two fishes above, but no big stone.

360 degree screen shows just one big stone (its shadow), and an ideal circle instead of waved bottom with two stones, and circle and semy-circle instead of tree and fish.

180 degree swing scan screen shows everything including big stone, but bottom line is slightely curved
